On October 14, a practical session was organized at the Azerbaijan National Art Museum for fourth-year students of group 133 T majoring in History at Western Caspian University. The session was held as part of the course “The Role of Museums in Historical Research and Teaching” (instructor: Assoc. Prof. L. Mammadova).

The practical session gave students the opportunity to gain detailed information about the work of museum collections and to reinforce their theoretical knowledge.

Shohrat Majnunova, Head of the museum’s Painting Collection, delivered a lecture for the students on “Museum Collections and the Organization of Collection Work.”

The lecture provided extensive information on the formation of museum collections, the registration and inventorying of museum objects, and their acceptance and safekeeping. The students became familiar with how collection work is organized and with the rules for preserving museum objects.

Afterwards, the students’ questions were answered, and they saw firsthand the inventory numbers on the works displayed in the exhibition and the markings indicating the collections to which they belong.
